Your current equipment

oh i also play inline hockey but we use a ball. is there need to tape my blade. i have a rbk 7k sickkick

Really up to you. some guys like the cushioned feel of tape, others don't mind the feel of the blade. If you have trouble catching passes with the ball bouncing off of your blade, then you should tape it.

And you can do better than the XXXX, it isn't bad, but there are much better options. for juniors check out these: http://www.hockeymonkey.com/easton-clearance-sticks.html -- I would recommend the SL, SE, or ST. All very well priced. And as mentioned in the Good Deal thread, enter the code BLOWOUT20 to receive 20% off.

After getting the urge I think I've finished the revamping of my equipment.

Helmet: Bauer 5000 w/ Itech straight-cut visor

Shoulders: CCM Tacks Reebok 8k

Elbows: CCM V08

Pants: Warrior Hustler Tackla Air 9000z

Shins: Bauer One95

Gloves: Eagle PPF

Skates: CCM U+ 09 Bauer X:50 / Mission Assassin

Sticks: Bauer One95 - P92, Alfredsson Pro Stock, Samsonov Pro Stock / Easton SE16 - Sakic / Warrior Dolomite Spyne - Kovalchuk

The U+ Skates felt so great in the store, but I just never could get the right feel out on the ice. The X:50 feel amazing. I'm happy I made the switch.

I wanted to upgrade my dingy old shoulder pads. Loved the fit and feel of the new Reebok line and went with the 8k. Protection is way beefed up at the cost of just a little bit of weight, almost unnoticeable though. Mobility feels much better with the new ones.

I have a friend who knows a friend who works for Warrior so I was able to get a pair of the Hustler pants at a discount. They're a nice pair of pants and I can see why many like them, but much like the U+ skates, they just weren't for me. I think switching to the Tackla pants will work out much better for me.

Hey, syko. You gave me advice, and ill give you some too. If you want to get replies to this, put this as a thread. BTW, the X60 seems to be panning out as a better stick for accurate shots, as is the XXXX

[uclahockey707 1]

Hey crazy4gear, what do you think of the nike bauer 9500 helmet?

[crazy4gear 0]

I like it a lot. I have tried on other helmets, but I definitely have a Bauer head lol. It has a nice snug fit for me. It is very cool temp-wise. I do wear an underarmour skull cap with it though because the foams don't seem to absorb sweat very well.

[Rocketking 0]

Helmet: Rbk 6K

Visor: Oakley straight small

Shoulder pads: Mission cheapies - got them on sale at HG, and honestly they have always bee pretty darn good

Elbow pads: Bauer very low end - I actually have some nice Bauer pads, but I HATE how the new elbow pads been getting fouled up in my arms cuz they are TOO big?

Gloves: Warrior Super Mac Daddy's - Hockey Monkey on sale, awesome feel, but probably not THE most protective.

Pants: CCM V6 - These are nice for me, I like my pants as low cut and unrestrictive as possible

Shin pads: Jofa high end - I had to cut them up a bunch thought to fit my knee braces

Skates: Rbk 8K pump

Stick: TPS XN-10 shaft with an TPS R8 blade (Afino) - I am an NX-10 whore, if anyone EVER has a broken XN-10 with a broken blade let me know I will buy it
